Purchase of a multi-mode high performance microplate reader

本应用程序的目的是获得最先进的多模式微孔板读取器，以取代已有12年历史的读取器，显示出疲劳的迹象，并且不再提供技术和材料支持。这种仪器，专门用于吸光度测定，每天被10多个实验室大量使用，对许多研究项目的追求至关重要，其中大部分是nserc资助的。随着高性能阅读器的购买，我们也希望扩展我们的技术能力，远远超出现有仪器的可行性。

The purpose of this application is to acquire a state-of-the-art multi-mode microplate reader to replace a ~12-yr old reader showing signs of fatigue and for which technical and material support is no longer available. This instrument, devoted to absorbance determination only, is heavily used on a daily basis by more than 10 laboratories and is absolutely crucial to the pursuit of numerous research programs, a majority of which is NSERC-funded. With the purchase of a high performance reader we wish also to extend our technical capabilities far beyond what is feasible with the current instrument.
